A clear and beautiful dawn at Six Horse Spring! Everything we own is out to dry in the morning sun, which makes for a late start but quite worth it for the weight savings (and the mood lifting.) The trail up to Tipsoo Peak is crunchy with frost, and as we get higher there's a fair amount of yesterday's snow, melting quickly in the blaze of today's fortune.
The trail's a piece of cake today, and the Cascade High Point is peaceful and pretty but otherwise unremarkable. A great relief to make camp without being slapped about by the rain. We stop by Thielsen Creek, right under the craggy spire of Mt. Theilsen. Crater Lake is only 26 miles away and we have two days to get there, so we plan to take a quick trip up Thielsen tomorrow morning before lunch -- the map says it will take 2 or 3 hours and provide some excellent vistas.
